An Overview of the Gastric Sleeve Bypass Surgery ?
Gastric sleeve bypass is an innovative weight loss procedure usually chosen for people that have been medically determined to be morbidly obese. The surgery involves removing three quarters of the patient's stomach and performing a stapling on the left over linings to form a sleeve connecting the stomach to its original parts. The weight loss from this procedure occurs very fast and once the desired weight has been achieved, the procedure is done again to convert the sleeve into a gastric bypass or a duodenal switch to allow for the patient to get back to a normal lifestyle.

When is gastric bypass surgery performed?
Gastric bypass surgery is a surgery actually invented by Dr. Mason around 1968 as a method of losing weight. What it accomplishes is to make the stomach very small with a very small outlet.

Where can I find some post op gastric bypass information?
Here are two good links on this. I have had the surgery so I can speak from experience. Everyone is different. My doctor was very clear on what I should eat after surgery and you do not want to disobey or you will puke or have pain. Trust me. You will be on liquids for awhile and then slowly move to solid food. The biggest thing for me was slowing down. If you eat too fast you will have severe discomfort. http://www.bospa.org/Information.aspx?Page=21 http://www.thinnertimes.com/weight-loss-surgery/gastric-bypass/post-op-nutrition.html

Common Gastric Bypass Side Effects?
There are several gastric bypass effects that some patients experience. Some of the more common side effects include nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, weakness and flushing. These symptoms usually occur while eating or shortly after eating. When patients make changes to their diet, these symptoms will decrease. Dehydration is another common side effect that many gastric bypass patients experience. Signs of dehydration include nausea and vomiting. This condition can be cured by drinking plenty of water, but it can take up to two months before symptoms subside. Some patients who eat too fast, experience difficulty swallowing. If food is chewed slowly, it will eliminate this problem. Nutritional deficiencies can also occur and can lead to hair loss. If vitamin and mineral supplements are taken, they will help alleviate nutritional deficiency.
How Much Should I Budget For Gastric Band Surgery?
Gastric Band Surgery can be expensive, but it is the best solution for fast and permanent weight-loss. Your insurance company will be more likely to cover your surgery if you have documented your previous attempts at weight loss, so make sure you can demonstrate this to them. Depending on where you live, the cost of your surgery may range from roughly $12,000 to $25,000, and any fills or adjustments will cost extra, although these are usually less than two hundred dollars. Remember to also budget for follow up surgical procedures if you plan to lose a significant amount of weight. Many people feel more comfortable having body contouring procedures performed as well.
